Does anybosy know why the Storm Chasers dont play in this park? I know they have their own but why? Also, what is the TD Ameritrade used for when its not the CWS?

I want to know this too. It seems like a crazy thing to do for Omaha to fund a new park like that and not reap any of the benefits that only a team affiliated with a big league club could bring.
That is unless the NCAA gave Omaha an ultimatum of build the new park or the CWS is gone.

TD Ameritrade wanted to charge them an astronomical rent price. That coupled with being exiled for 2 weeks, they decided it would be better off moving to suburbs where suburban county would build them a smaller stadium
Creighton, a UFL team, and concerts are what it is used for in the meantime

The Storm Chasers tried to negotiate, but the expense was prohibitive and Sarpy County proposed building their own smaller stadium that they would have priority in, so... Werner Park is used for some high school games and they've had a few concerts too in order to support it. And the Storm Chasers have had pretty decent success in the more intimate, kid friendly stadium on the opposite side of town.
TD Ameritrade is home for Creighton baseball. You can have an entire section to yourself at most of those games, except when they play UNL. They also had a music festival there the last two years but had it the end of July when the heat is BRUTAL out there with no shade. Some of the acts were on stages in the parking lots. Except for the headliners who played in the evenings, you could count the people attending on your fingers. I think they've given up.
